DIFFICULTY RATING:
(1 out of 5 - Beginner)
With the right tools and a little preparation, a ceiling can be painted without difficulty.
|
Step 2: Clean the ceiling.
Soot, dirt, and mildew can interfere with the new paint, so it is important to clean the ceiling first. Use an industrial cleaner like Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) and a similar substitute, mixing the cleaner with water according to instructions. Dip a new sponge-mop into the cleaning solution, wring, and scrub the ceiling as you would a floor. Work in four-square-foot sections. Once clean, thoroughly rinse all ceiling surfaces with water and allow to dry completely.
 Use a new sponge-mop and cleaning solution.
